Eyecelerator®, in collaboration with Unither Pharmaceuticals and Ora, Inc., announces the launch of Eye to Market, a new web series dedicated to accelerating understanding of how ophthalmic innovations move from scientific insight to real-world adoption. The series brings together leaders across research, clinical development, manufacturing and commercialisation to unpack the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of eye care. Through expert interviews and real-world perspectives, Eye to Market highlights the steps required to bring breakthrough ophthalmic solutions to patients worldwide, from early-stage development through clinical validation, scale-up, regulatory strategy and market access.
“Eye to Market was created to demystify the innovation pathway in ophthalmology,” said Gil Kliman, MD, program director for Eyecelerator. “By opening the conversation across disciplines, we hope to help innovators and partners navigate complexity and ultimately deliver better outcomes for patients.”
Unither Pharmaceuticals, a global contract development and manufacturing organisation and the world leader in Blow-Fill-Seal sterile unit doses, contributes deep expertise in sterile manufacturing and drug delivery systems supporting ophthalmic innovation and accessibility. Ora, the world’s leading full-service ophthalmic clinical research organisation (CRO), brings decades of clinical development insight and a proven track record of advancing therapeutic and device innovation.
“Partnership and cross-functional collaboration are essential to transform promising ideas into approved, scalable treatments,” said Brian Kenyon, business development, North America, for Unither Pharmaceuticals.
“From first-in-human studies through global commercialisation, successful product development requires more than technical execution; it demands insight, experience, and empathy,” said Ora Chief Scientific Officers George Ousler and Keith Lane. “This series highlights the power of rigorous science, collaboration, and a shared commitment to patients, bringing together industry‑leading experts to illuminate the pathway from innovation to impact in ophthalmology.”
